#1 With a Bullet Point: 8 Lightning Bolt Feats
Publisher: Rogue Genius Games

This Bullet Point was everything I expected: simple, inexpensive and powerful. I like the Forked Bolt - Multiple Bolt - Mystic Arc Feat progression, which then allows a Wizard or other Evoker to create elementally "realistic" Lightning effects. I am also quite taken with the Cloud-to-Cloud Feat, which provides a subtle hazard beyond the usual "Oh, Ho Hum, just another cloud of mist" reaction. Suddenly the much-ridiculed myriad of fog/haze/cloud spells become a potential Electrocutional minefield! The Thundercrack Feat provides an obvious elemental effect, since anyone who has been caught in a Thunderstorm can understand the multiple experience of a Lightning strike: the flash of lightning and the concussion of thunder. Shock and Awe! I'm wild about the Storm Rider Feat, which allows for a Dimension Door-like short-range transit.

I consider that this spell compendium is a fine set of Evocations. I know that most Adherents of the "Wizard as Gaming God" mind-set denigrate simple evocations, but they can be quite satisfying.

The Rings of Fire spell is reminiscent of the Raggadorrian spells of a certain Bleecker Street Mage. I like the additions to the Lightning spell-type, including the Chain Lighting series, Thunder Whip, Explosive Lightning and Frentic Bolt. I like the Jarlspear, though your Game must have demonstrable Nobility which is attainable by Player Characters to be fully effective-- my Game does. I also like Sonic spells, such as Sonic Blade. The Rock Friend series of spells reminds me of the Rock Troll's ability to call rocks to himself in the movie "Labyrinth". I am exceedingly pleased with the new Force spells, such as Explosive Shot, Sphere of Force, and to a lesser extent, Soul of Thunder. I also consider that the Ranger Shrapnel Shot is a Force spell.

As a product, I noticed only a few editing errors, and I liked the fact that there were PDF links from the Class Lists directly to the spell descriptions.

On the whole, well done.
